| Summary: | This image is a color photograph of the Alabama State Capitol Building in Montgomery, Ala. Postcard text: (back) The Alabama State Capitol Building at Montgomery is said by architects to be the most beautiful of the Greek revival state buildings in the entire nation. Historians agree that few buildings in the nation have been the scene of more colorful and romantic history. Here is where the Confederate [States of America] Congress first met, on the portico of which Jefferson Davis took the oath as President. The Capitol holds many relics of the momentous War Between the States period. |
